Chapter 185 (1/2)

The second floor of the bookstore.

Yan Ji glanced at the female teacher who was still calm. He frowned deeply. ””Song Qiao Sheng left the library, why didn't you report this to the newspapers?””

The female teacher did not stand up. She put down the book in her hands. ””Up until now, we still have not received any instructions from the new headmaster. Therefore, we naturally followed the original instructions of Princ.i.p.al Sang.””

Dean Sang's original order was to let us take care of our own affairs when we sensed that something might have gone wrong.

If it's within our capabilities, we'll take care of it ourselves.

If it's someone outside of our capabilities, we will inform our close friends and generals immediately.

””But now, the general is not in the capital!””

He choked on his words for a moment, wanting to get angry, but he held it back.

He knew that he had indeed been careless and thought that nothing would happen, but something happened.

””Forget it, if anything happens again in the future, immediately report it to me.””

He waved his hand. ””Tell me everything you know.””

Chang Huan said softly, ””Huotang Tang, you also know how important this matter is. If you are not careful, you will be doomed because of this matter.””

The purpose of the academy's establishment in the past was to build talent for Great Yan.

And then there was the other responsibility.

You've been in the library for so many years, you know more than I do.

””So I hope you can tell us everything you know. It's better than holding on to the truth between you and Song Qiao.””

””It's been many years since I've been here, and now someone has come to tell me these things. Don't you think it's a little late?””

With a cold voice, he said, ””You have been holding your ground for so many years. That was Princ.i.p.al Sang's order. It had nothing to do with me.””

””Since that's the case, why should I tell you?””

With a reserved tone, he said, ””I am now the Dean of the Martial Arts Academy. Everything you do must be responsible to me.””

Huodan shook his head, ””I'm only responsible for what I do.””

When President Sang found me, he had already said that the fewer people who knew about this matter, the better.

So if I choose to agree, then I will face a long period of loneliness.

I considered agreeing with President Sang one night, and then I told myself that I was responsible for my decision.

So many years later, an unrelated person came over and told me that it would be shameful if I didn't feel that it was laughable to take responsibility for him. ””

Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by Chang Huan, ””Sir, can I take care of this matter?””

With a grunt, he flicked his sleeves and left.

Chang Huan sat down across from him. ””Perhaps each of you misunderstood Teacher, he doesn't seem to be the same type of person as Princ.i.p.al Sang.””

However, if the rumors were true, Teacher Sang and Princ.i.p.al Sang were at loggerheads.

Then why did Dean Sang not drive him away when he was alive?

As you know, before Her Majesty is fully in power, President Sang has plenty of opportunity to drive him away.

””With the old Military Minister as Chairman Sang's backer, how secure is President Sang's position?””

””But Princ.i.p.al Sang hasn't chased Teacher away all this time. Can't that explain the problem?””

””What does this have to do with me?””

Chang Huan nodded, ””It does, it does.””

President Sang did not chase him away because he knew what kind of person he was.

””You should be well aware of the way President Sang looks at people and also believe in his character.””

He took a breath and continued, ””Sometimes, things are far from being as superficial as they seem.

I can only tell you that the contradiction that makes others look is not necessarily one of contradiction.

The person who made others think that it was impossible for them to become friends was not necessarily not a friend.

””Teacher's personality is just like that, but his words really do make people feel uncomfortable. Otherwise, he wouldn't make people feel that he and Princ.i.p.al Sang were at odds.””

””You're saying …?”” The expression on Huotang's face finally changed. ””You're saying …?””

Chang Xiao laughed, ””It doesn't matter what I say. The important things in the library have already been pa.s.sed on to Teacher from President Sang.””

The word inheritance caused Huo Tang to be shocked.

She was silent for a moment, then went on: ””I've already looked for it. There was indeed a book missing on the second floor.””

””However, I've seen that book countless times before. It's just an ordinary introductory cultivation technique. I've seen it on the second floor, so there hasn't been any problems in so many years.””

Chang Huan asked, ””There are at least a thousand books on the second floor. Could you have remembered wrongly?””

””If you were to rearrange the books the students have messed up every day and put them back according to their original location, then you will also be certain that you are not mistaken.””

Chang Huan's heart ached. A woman who had stayed here for so many years, it could even be said that she had left her most beautiful youth behind.

People had gotten used to her presence. Perhaps even the bookkeepers had gotten used to her presence.

However, how many people had thought about how these thousands of days and nights had come by?

She had persisted for several years longer than Song Qiao had ascended, and the latter had already become somewhat crazed.

””In other words … the seniors of the Martial Arts Academy have been searching for such a long time. In fact, they have always been in the library, always in front of us. It's just that we haven't discovered anything.””

Chang Huan sighed, ””This is really ironic … what should we do now?””

””You just said … since Dean Yan got the inheritance from Dean Sang, then I'm sure that Dean Yan is very clear on what to do.””

I'm just a guard, and I've made a mistake.

He watched helplessly as the thing slipped away in front of him, but he did not notice it.
